The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

If You Only Had 1 Fly

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

...which one would it be?

Kasper,

If I had one only for all the fishing I'm likely to bump into it would be a gold beaded hare's ear nymph. That will catch almost anything that swims.

For stream fishing I would choose a similar nymph or a CDC&Elk dry fly.

For saltwater I would choose something like a Grey Frede. That would catch everything from trout to bonefish.

Martin

For saltwater fishing I would choose orange streamer made from polar fox, orange spectra dubbing and orange cock.

For stillwater fishing montana lure is my first choice.

For river fishing it should be small CDC sedge tied on hook # 14 or 16.

Salt - Magnus
Fresh - Daddylonglegs and goldhead GRHE

I almost always get fish on these flies, regardless of where I fish.

Fish,

Those are good looking flies! I cross my fingers for some sunny, calm and dry weather in your neighborhood.

Thanks Martin...

it is great here and warm

I hope that it will stay the same when I come back, but I'll use those flies in any weather probably...as long as the water stays clear enough..

for now:

greetings from Athens ;-)

I fish primarily on the danish coast ant my overall favorite is a good big hairy mudler for nightfishing.....but in the daytime another favorite is "Jorgens Demon"......

Just tied a bunch of "Epoxy Miracles" in green and in brownish - so maybe a new favorite is comin' up :D

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
